I was searching this evening for something unrelated and stumbled across 
a bug report from Gilles Tran in 2003 and pretty quickly found another 
report with a search. Again for me keeping the falloff >=1.0 seemed to 
help quite a bit but it perhaps doesn't fix everything. Both reports had 
the falloff <1.0 as did the original code in this thread.

Documenting these older reports for the record I guess... The 2003 
report especially lines up with what I was seeing with the falloff <1.0. 
Perhaps something long not quite right/solid with cylinder lights and 
photons.
